The airframe bearing tail number N544BA is a 2016-built Bombardier CL-600-2B16 Challenger 650, serial 6084, manufactured by Bombardier Inc. It is registered in the United States and shows corporate ownership by BOEING CO with a recorded location of Gary, IN, US, indicating a corporate/operator base in that metropolitan area. The aircraft carries a stated market valuation of $20,000,000, and its documentation identifies it as a fixed-wing multi-engine business jet configured and maintained to VIP standards. Ownership by a major aerospace corporation is a notable registry characteristic for this specific airframe and may influence operational use and maintenance provenance.

The interior is documented as a VIP executive layout, with a typical executive interior accommodating 9–13 passengers while being type-certified for up to 22 seats; the specific cabin of N544BA is maintained for corporate transport and executive missions. Avionics are listed as Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21, with advanced Pro Line suite options reported, supporting modern navigation, communications and flight management for demanding business routes. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include medium- to long-range transcontinental and international executive transport, leveraging a 4,000 nm range and a cruise of 459 kts to connect corporate hubs. Corporate ownership and operation from Gary, IN imply usage aligned with company travel requirements and centralized maintenance oversight.

The Bombardier CL-600-2B16 Challenger 650 occupies the super-midsize business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability, a high cruise speed and a comfortable VIP cabin relative to competitors in its class. Competing models typically include other super-midsize jets with similar range and cabin amenities; resale and charter demand are influenced by avionics fit (Pro Line 21), corporate ownership history and the airframe’s maintenance pedigree. For this airframe, considerations for future maintenance and resale will reflect its 2016 build date, corporate operational record, and the installed General Electric CF34-3B engines, all factors that inform life-cycle costs and marketability.
